"I don't feel like my game is where it should be at this point in the season," said Carter.

"I want to do more for my team, be more consistent. I want to cut down on some of my turnovers. I think I had five -- that's too many. I know I have the ball in my hands a lot and it happens. But it's something I can't sit with. We're playing at the end of the season. I consider it money time. I expect myself to play that way."

Carter is averaging just 14.0 points on 37% shooting in New Jersey's last three games.
